Stain removal
Make sure to remove any marks as quickly as possible. Always use
a clean, white cotton cloth. If the stain has dried, first scrape any
excess off by hand or with a brush. Then vacuum the stain, fol-

water. It is important to rinse with clean water.
Treating stubborn stains, stain removers should be “worked
into the fabric” with a clean, damp, absorbent cloth.

the upholstery material beneath.
